Dear Julie. The GGA forum is one of my favourite forums and I didn't want to spam it with updates on my case and to annoy people with my long posts.
Here's a link to my latest update. I forum I most frequently update is the Scandinavian www.repti.net forum but updates there are in Norwegian... http://www.repti.net/repti2/index.php?MODULE=Forum&PAGE=3&ID=9763
I update the "general gecko chat" www.geckoworld.com forum and the "herp
law/CITES forum" at www.kingsnake.com but these are only small updates
as I can't formulate myself well in English and it takes me too long to
translate my thoughts.. I don't dare updating too many forums because the first day when I was
caught I spammed many of the kingsnake forums with the same post. Many
of these were deleted the next day. I guess moderators didn't like that
so I try to take notice and not update my case in too many places..
Other than this I have a friend who is updating the German DGHT forum
and I think people are forwarding my updates to Canada and Australia.
Here's a link to my latest update: http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=433836,446435
Here's a link to the whole thread at kingsnake: http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=433836,433836&show_threads=2
Other than the updates above I got a letter from the police today. A Formal letter about confiscation of my animals. If I sign this letter I agree that my animals can be confiscated. And I will be charged without going to the court. This normally gives a milder punishment.. If I don't sign, I have to give a good reason for not signing, or else they'll come to my house in 5 days to confiscate the remaining 5 leachies I have at home. In this case I will have to go to court. Problem is.. If I have to go to court it will be too expensive and I won't be able to pay my lawyers fees.. :o( I'm not sure what to do. I'll talk about it with my lawyer on Monday. Maybe I can go to court without a lawyer? I don't know yet.. If I go to court maybe I risk being made an example of.. up to 12 months in jail and up to 7100 USD in fines, depending on the jury's verdict. I guess it won't be that much since I don't have any CITES index 1 animals nor poisonous snakes, I only kept geckoes and 2 species of dendrobates. We'll have to see..
Best regards
Regards. :o)

While I don't condone the laws in Norway, I am kind of surprised that nobody pointed out the irresponsibility of keeping animals when you know that they are illegal and the penalty if you are caught is death to the animals.
The only victims in this case are the animals who are going to be put to death and the people who are trying to use legal means to have these laws changed as this kind of incident makes all herpers look like criminals.
